gee, yes you will have to do just that, but it's under that strip of metal ( the hole or tig weld is NOTHING compared to the new strip that will have rubber over it..... that probably is going to get painted ANY-WAY) that has a small hole drilled in it. and you're just filling that w/ a tig-tack.
a very small grind mark can't possibly hurt and touch it up if any shows after you tig tack weld that 1/4'' surface.
or
do we have a show truck here or what??
if he's gotten this far and did not weld or have some idea about how to attach something there but the other side has, it's on impala
or live w/ the error
go ahead and drill a hole in the truck and pop rivit it
i don't care.
both work
